If the wheel is off to the right, you spin the collar to LENGTHEN the linkage.
Then tighten the collar bolts and test drive. Keep adjusting in small increments till you get the wheel where you want it

DO NOT, I repeat DO NOT touch the outer tie rods out by the tires, this will just throw off your toe, that you just has set
Brad, I think you are confusing with the F350's steering linkage, He has a F150.
